Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


After deleting the observations 30 and 42

new sum 

new mean 


Q2. Let f (x) be differentiable in (0, 4) and f (2) = f (3) and S = {c : 2 < c < 3, f’ (c) = 0 } then
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Since given f(x) is differentiable in (2,3) and f(2) = f(3) we have conditions of Rolle′s Theorem are satisfied by f(x) in [2,3]. Hence there exist atleast one real c in (2,3) s.t.f′ (c) = 0. Therefore, the set S contains atleast one element.

Q3. Corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are (0, 3), (1, 1) and (3, 0). Let Z = px+qy, where p, q > 0. Condition on p and q so that the minimum of Z occurs at (3, 0) and (1, 1) is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

We have Z = px + qy , At ( 3, 0 ) Z = 3p ……………………………….(1) At ( 1 , 1) Z = p + q …………………………(2) Therefore , from (1) and (2) : We have : p = q/2 .

Q4. The range of the function f(x) = [sin x] is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The only possible integral values of sin x are { -1 ,0, 1 }.As −1≤sinθ≤1

Q5. If A is a non singular matrix of order 3 , then  =
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

If A is anon singular matrix of order , then 
Q6. The number of lines that are parallel to 2x + 6y – 7 = 0 and have an intercept 10 units between the coordinate axis is :
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Thslope of the given line 2x+6y = 7 is -1/3

Hence the line which is parallel to the above line is 

y = (-1/3)x+c

That is the y intercept is (0,c) and the x intercept is (3c,0)

Using the distance formula

d2 = (0-3c)2 + (3c-0)2

= 10c2

since the distance is 10 is given,

100 = 10c2

therefore c = ±10

Since two values are possible, two lines can be drawn.
